Mythology tells us of Narcissus, who drowned because he fell in love with his own reflection. On the flip side, one of my most recent joys in life is seeing my 10-month-old daughter’s grin when she looks at herself in the mirror, in awe of herself. It seems that in this situation, the question “is …

I am passionate about learning and teaching, and I have discovered that when you teach you to learn, and when you learn, you expand your capacity to teach. That’s why I love public speaking and attending conferences, seminars, workshops… and all types of live events. I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Arizona and …
I cried so much when I found out Casey Kasem died… It was June 15th, 2014, on Father’s Day. Even though I never met him, I truly felt like I knew him. He was a radio legend that hosted American Top 40 for many decades, yet to me, he was sort of a personal friend …

In fairy tales, the mirror usually shows us our true selves. And the mirror never lies. It tells us truths we would not rather hear; it shows us inner truths we’d rather not see. The mirror always reveals the true character, true feelings, and true intentions. I always believed this detail to be extremely impressive and …
The water was beautiful, clear, and warm. I had my new bathing suit on and my shoes off. I was registered and ready! Or so I thought. The friendly instructor waved at me with an inviting smile. “You can come in!” she said, and my heart sank as I walked slowly toward her in the …
Do you sometimes feel stuck, uncomfortable, in a situation where you just want to hit an imaginary ESC key… or better yet, CTRL+ALT+DELETE and Calgon Take Me Away? I do. One of the biggest misconceptions of being POSITIVE is that you are ALL smiles ALL the time and that you are an OPTIMIST, you know, because “you don’t face REALITY.” …
I was talking to a friend recently about how we sometimes let other people define our success. We let society dictate what makes us successful, we let our family decide whether we are good parents or not, we let the perception of other couples define what a happy relationship is… and don’t get me started …
